Assessment & Scanning

The most advanced CBCT dental scans available in East Anglia

Even the most advanced dental treatments will not be successful without comprehensive assessment and careful planning. We will never undertake a procedure without first gaining thorough understanding of your oral health. This enables us to detect any potential problems, give you comprehensive advice and recommend only the treatments and techniques that will benefit you. Our highly trained and experienced team use some of the most advanced equipment in the country to assist them at this vital early stage of your journey.

Understanding your oral health with dental x-rays

After your initial assessment, we will carry out a full dental health assessment. Our clinicians will carry out an examination of your teeth, gums and jaw, as well as an oral cancer screening, which will enable them to build up a detailed picture of your oral health. After this, we will undertake any special investigations necessary to plan your treatment, such as x-rays and 3D imaging of your teeth and jaws, impressions of your teeth, and clinical photographs.

CBCT dental scans for effective diagnosis and treatment planning

Dental imaging is an important diagnostic tool for modern dentistry, helping assess, plan and carry out treatment. As well as x-rays, which are a fast, safe and effective way for us to assess your teeth and mouth, we may take CBCT scans. Providing detailed imagery, CBCT dental scans enable us to provide safer and more effective implant treatments.

Our dental imaging technology

We use a state of the art Planmeca 3D Machine to take our CBCT scans. This highly innovative machine comes with a number of benefits:

One of the safest Cone Beam scanners on the market, using low dose technology
Comfortable for patients to use in standing or sitting positions
Fast and effective, taking your scans in a matter of moments
Produces exceptional quality images for our clinicians to plan the best treatment

Study Models

A study model is an initial view of your mouth/teeth that is taken before we start any treatments. It will act as a reference point for our Specialists and the laboratories we work with. Traditionally, a cast was made by taking an impression of your teeth with a tray and impression material. Using the latest technology, we can now produce Digital 3D impressions of your teeth and gums - eliminating the need for messy and bulky trays. This is especially helpful for those who experience a gag reflex with the traditional tray method.

The price is £55 for either a traditional model or a digitally scanned image.
